Ashes need to be bagged and placed in the council provided general waste bins (red lid). Please ensure you have allowed the coals and ash to cool before placing it in a bag.
Coal and ash can be a great addition to soil or your compost pile. In small amounts a compost can benefit from it, as it neutralises an acidic level of soil, and provide nutrients such as lime and potassium.
Wingecarribee Shire Council have partnered with Compost Revolution to provide residents with affordable equipment and free delivery of items such as compost bins and worm farms.
